Richard Conlon
"Telling tales and making stuff up..."
At heart, I’m a writer. Most of the writing I do is the creation of new plays. I like to remind people that the 'wright' part of playwright is there for a reason. A playwright is a craftsperson or an artisan in the way that a cabinet maker or an architect is – we are asked to make a bespoke product of a specific size from a certain material to fit in a particular place – the real job is to make the product as beautiful and as functional as possible. That’s where the challenge of good writing lies.
